awaits flaming, yes, I am the geek with the Orange Camelbak and the Soul, talking about my inept tumbles 🙂

I'm in the video too along with Son of Mike (another member on here). I was wearing the Go Pro, unfortunately held up on the descents by Iain 😉
I tried to watch it but couldn't skip past a long advert for dentures. They'd obviously heard about your riding Iain!
80s of adverts? sheesh
OK, good fun riding though 🙂
Tats, beards, mincing..
no Audi's or Niche bikes so that's a STW fail 😉
And WTF is going on at 32:07??
that is a comedy section, which they edited into the wrong place......if you see Gary at 31.45 he smacks his nuts off his back tyre, the 32:07 bit is him rubbing them better 🙂And WTF is going on at 32:07??

short version, without the ads[/url]
Hate to say it, but based on that it looks tamer than the Olympic course that everyone was moaning about. Looks a fun ride though.
far to much talking up of cathkin braes... It's mediocre at best
Mediocre? Don't talk pish.
It's utter dung!
[s]Bunch of fannies[/s] Great film 🙂
Are people forgetting Cathkin isn't a trail centre - it's an XC race course, and for that it's very good. Try riding it at full speed on a 19lb race bike and 600mm bars/100mm stem.
Not forgetting that at all dan, and I'm sure it's a very good race course, not expecting it to be a trail centre. So far GCC have a vested interest in keeping it in order for the games, let's see if that continues after the games are over, and the castlemilk massive carry on with the vandalism that been pretty evident so far.
Nobeer - what vandalism has been done to the trails ? None that I know of so far apart from in first few weeks. The locals seem remarkably accepting of us cohabiting their buckyfest areas so far and there has been none of the predicted trouble. All the Council do is cut the grass near the paths, which they always did. There have been a few trail tweaks last month but not due to any removals by locals.
I've been twice, and both times there were boulders pulled out the side of the descent down through the woods and placed on the trails, second time there was smashed glass (Bucky would you believe!) on more than one place, not to mention the fact they have to put a bloody fence up round the wee tunnel at night! 😯 😀
I hope it is kept going, but I think it was a missed opportunity. A trail centre with options would have been a far better legacy for Glasgow, way more value to the average joe than a race course.
Anyway, no wanting to argue Iain, I'll need to watch the boys in action!. 😀
Nobeer - I didn't know about the boulders, that's a bit crap
Double post
Nobeer - I didn't know about the boulders, that's a bit crap. Agree its no trail centre but handy for folks in the city and a decent wee ride for a few laps. Agree the proof will be in the pudding legacy wise though.....
